I like this project. No I love this project.
NMS —Nature Matching System was developed by Tattfoo as a reminder to consume your daily recommended doses of color. The shades of color displayed at farmers’ markets are more than skin deep, reflecting the inner potential of every fruit and vegetable; intense colors might even be called nature’s nutrition labels. They get many of their colors from phytonutrients, compounds that play key roles in health and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. The more colors come together at a meal, the better.

This mural is commissioned by the Dumbo Improvement District and the Department of Transportation with the help of The Dumbo Neighborhood Association, The Dumbo Parents Organization, The Dumbo Art Center and P.S. 307 Dr. Daniel Hale Williams Elementary School where each students paints a color panel that is part of the big mural.
